The next major iPhone software update, iOS 27, is set to be unveiled on June 8 and is expected to bring at least two changes to the Liquid Glass design. Currently, Apple offers two styles of Liquid Glass: Clear and Tinted. However, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to introduce a systemwide slider to allow users to finely control the level of the glass effect. This could potentially change the conversation around Liquid Glass. Additionally, Gurman suggests that Apple also plans to make some tweaks to the interface, but these will be gradual, much like what Apple experienced following the introduction of iOS 7.
